Thousands Lost Electricity in South-East Queensland and Victoria Following Powerful Storms
Around 25,000 residences in Queensland's southeast were left experiencing outages on Monday morning after severe thunderstorms impacted the region, producing wind gusts hitting 109km/h.
Substantial Hailstones and Broad Damage
Residents reported substantial frozen pellets measuring up to 7cm in some areas. The Bureau of Meteorology announced that various areas across the state had been impacted by large hailstones.

Emergency crews were focused on reestablishing electricity service throughout the damaged zones, with approximately seventy teams working to manage the extensive power failures.
Southern State's Climate Difficulties
Meanwhile, nearly 1,000 energy customers in Victoria also faced energy failures after Melbourne saw its most precipitation in over 500 days.
Emergency response teams responded to 598 calls for help across the area, mostly for property damage but also for collapsed vegetation and water accumulation.
Most Impacted Regions
- Werribee region - saw substantial weather impact
- Hoppers Crossing area - various assistance requests
- Wyndham region - over 175 calls for assistance
At the height on yesterday, over 28,000 power users in the state were lacking electricity.
Climate Outlook
Damp conditions were predicted to continue along much of Queensland's east this next several days as a atmospheric system continued to attract humidity against the coastal areas.
The following day was expected to become the heaviest precipitation period, with persistent storm activity predicted across multiple regions of both areas.
Health Warning
Medical authorities cautioned that there was an greater possibility of epidemic thunderstorm asthma across the countryside regions, particularly given the current weather patterns.
This warning comes after past events where analogous circumstances led to major medical consequences in the area.
